The Usual Distance

[Ely Teehankee]

Lately I have been processing birds that were taken at a very close distance. This time I did not have the luxury of taken them close but at the usual distance. I followed the same way of post processing the pictures keeping in mind that the levels on the histogram should be hitting both ends to the maximum. The pictures are brighter and I think I am beginning to get used to this level of brightness. Your critique please.

Brightness on all generally look fine, Ely.

First and second pics appear a bit washed out and would seem to benefit from more contrast. Try a levels 10, 0.95, 240 on 1 and 15, 0.95, 255 on 2. See if you like the richer and contrastier colors.

Now I know what it means by wash out. Its like magic when I applied the levels. Thank you Romy. To start with the captures were not that much of a quality but now that it is PP, it is a lot better than I had hope for.
